    Are you an angel, and you *really* want to help us recoup what we spent to press this ourselves? For $100.00 USD or more, you could own one of the six test pressings we get back from the factory. Hell, I'll even throw in a hand-written thank you letter, and Logan will draw a Bigfoot on it. Bigfoot the creature, not the monster truck.

lyrics

I’m staring at the sky
At ships passing in the night

I’m shuffling my feet
I’m waiting for a sign

I’m watching colors smear
And blur and blend and disappear

Sand threads the time in double-time
I just stand here waiting

Into the room I drift towards peril and it feels good
Good to give up
Good to fuck up

I’m walking out onto the wing
Into the wild never-ending
In a dream within a dream

Scattering yards of yarn and string
Had somebody got their claws in me?
Was I the cat that got the cream?

Twilight
Evil
Inspiration
Lilac in bloom
Under the strawberry moon

If you left it up to me
I think that I'd go quietly
I thought I had no fear at all, now it’s all that I am

But I'm shaking off a dream
Where I march into the sea
Where I walk on until the end of where the fading light can reach

I don’t wanna be wasted air
I don’t wanna be wasted in the moonlight again
I don’t wanna be singing songs
And strumming chords
They come out wrong
A brute
A bore
An eye for an eyesore
I just wanna be in your arms again
I just wanna be in your arms again
I
I just wanna be in your arms again
I just wanna be in your arms again

"Enemy Airship creates a sound that is atmospheric yet tightly coiled, its guitars and synths bleeding together to hint at garage rock, indie-pop, New Wave and experimental tones without ever picking a side." - Aarik Danielson, Columbia Daily Tribune
